A compound: śabdā (शब्दा), liṅgā (लिङ्गा), viśe (विशे), ṣādvi (षाद्वि), the rest, what remains over, liṅgā (लिङ्गा), and bhāvācca (भावाच्च).
Where it sits
In Vaiśeṣika (वैशेषिक) Sūtra (सूत्र), adhyāya (अध्याय) 2. Earth, water, fire, air, and the qualities that mark them. Then ether, time, and space. The line is short. tattva-mbhāvena (तत्त्व-म्भावेन) from 2.1.29 is still in force. A sūtra (सूत्र) leaves a word out when the line before still holds it. That carrying is anuvṛtti (अनुवृत्ति).
